About this statute
Only a person entered in the patent agent register may professionally practice as a patent agent; a patent agent’s task is to represent others in patent authority matters and appeals. Patentti- ja rekisterihallitus valvoo 1 §:n noudattamista ja voi kieltää asiamiestä toimimasta asianosaisen edustajana, jos henkilö harjoittaa patenttiasiamiehen tointa ilman rekisterimerkintää. A person may not use the professional title of patent representative, or otherwise describe their profession in a misleading way, if they are not entered in the patent representative register. A fine is imposed for the violation. The provision states that the act enters into force on 1 January 1968, and an amendment-related text states it enters into force on 17 May 2011.
